Our city government should do one
OF two things-either raise the rate
of tax levy, or increase the tax valu-
alton 6f city property. The time has
come when citizens who wish to aid
the rapid growth of the town must
not complain of a little taxation. Nc,

public improvements Our strcots
sadly need grading and sidewalks
all over togn. Strangers who sec
these improvements will be far more
likely TO invest and remain among rs
then they otherwise would be.
Port Townsend needs a regular
established grade to its sidewalks
and street commissioner specially
charged with the duty of mixing all
builders and movers conform 10 Tie
grade. At the rate things are going
our principal business streets will be
positively unsightly us we'll as ex-
usmsly inconvenient. We have many

action. In billy, uneven townsitJ
it nsy be necessary 10 have uneven
billoVy sidewalks dovetailed together
with crooks aud elbows, bat the ten
dsnsy always is to bring them 10 as
nearly uniform grade as possible
In the business part of this city thert
is absolutely no excuse for irregular
humps and hollows along our thor
oughfarss. The sidewalks are part
OF the public highways; they are fol
public convenience, and should bt
under public control As long as
each property owner is permitted to
follow bis own ideas or inclination.

IN thst lipa. 1t may not be right mol
proper tc force all those at present
below the grade to be raised; but Ger
tsiRly grade on each street should
be established and all new work re.
quirsd to conform to it. B5 this
means We should gradually come tc
a uniform level. 1t is time we were
beginning to take some pride in tht
